Billy Kay Not entirely unexpected given Rochdale’s unequivocal rejection of the two party state. Underlines the importance of an inclusive democratic society starting with Proportional Representation.

Disgraceful

Simply awful message from the UK Govt - come here to care for our loved ones, but don't bring your loved ones with you.

A race to the bottom on migration is not only morally abhorrent but economically illiterate.

These plans will only damage social care & those who rely on it.

EXCL: Claims that the latest polling shows Labour are gaining ground at the expense of the SNP is a 'misinterpretation of the evidence', John Curtice has said

The professor argued that Labour's gains were mostly down to the Tories' political disasters 🥀

In the last 80 days, Israel has used the level of munitions equal to more than two nuclear bombs on Gaza.

Like Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined.

Let that sink in.

Let’s just remember Thatcher privatised energy, water (in England), gas, phone, rail etc and turned Britain into a race to the bottom, deregulated free for all - apparently impossible for Labour to fix. This is precisely why so many Scots want indy.

'No human being on the face of the earth, no government is going to take from me my right to speak, my right to protest against wrong, my right to do everything that is for the benefit of mankind' - so spoke the remarkable John Maclean, who died 100 years ago today.
